Bavaria 40 (2001) – A Versatile, Easy-to-Handle Cruiser

This Bavaria 40, built in 2001, offers a perfect balance of performance, comfort, and practicality, making her an excellent choice for both new and experienced sailors. Designed for ease of handling, she features a well-thought-out deck layout with Harken winches and well-placed controls, making sailing effortless whether short-handed or with a full crew. Her Raymarine navigation equipment ensures confidence at the helm, while her stable hull design provides a safe and comfortable ride in a variety of conditions.

Having been exclusively privately owned and never chartered, she has been carefully maintained and is presented in excellent condition—the photos truly don’t do her justice.

Below deck, this is the sought-after owner’s version, featuring a spacious aft owner's cabin that provides enhanced comfort and storage, along with a well-proportioned forward cabin for guests. The U-shaped galley to starboard offers generous workspace and storage, while the saloon’s distinctive owner’s chairs to port create a comfortable and social space for relaxation. Equipped with three solar panels and a VictronConnect solar system, she provides excellent energy efficiency, allowing for longer passages with minimal reliance on shore power.

Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta MD2030 50hp marine diesel engine, this Bavaria 40 is not only easy to handle but also economical to maintain. With her proven upkeep and thoughtful ownership, she is well-prepared for her next adventure, offering a turn-key solution for those looking to explore the coastline or embark on bluewater cruising with confidence and comfort.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
